March 15, 2011, in Ajdabiya, Libya

Shaglouf,
a driver working for four New York Times journalists in Libya, was
killed by fighters loyal to Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi at a checkpoint in
Ajdabiya, the Times told CPJ, citing an account from the driver's
brother.

Pro-Qaddafi
forces seized Times journalists Anthony Shadid, Stephen Farrell,
Lynsey Addario, and Tyler Hicks at the checkpoint, holding them captive for six
days. The Times journalists lost sight of Shaglouf after their
capture. Shaglouf's body had not been recovered by late 2011, according to his
brother.
